Virginia C. Lee Williams

WEST ORANGE, N.J. — Virginia C. Lee Williams, 79, a native of Hampton, Va., and a resident of West Orange, N.J., entered eternal rest on Monday, May 29, 2006, at Morristown Memorial Hospital, Morristown, N.J., surrounded by her loving family.

She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Hampton, where she enjoyed interacting with fellow members in Bible Study, Sunday School and the Gospel Choir.

In 2002, illness necessitated her relocation to New Jersey, where she lived with her daughter, Bettie. Throughout her illness, she was lovingly cared for by her children and shared with them her extraordinary gift of accepting with grace and strength the obstacles that life sends your way.

A homegoing celebration will be held 1 p.m. Friday, June 2, at First Baptist Church of Hampton. Interment will follow at Hampton National Cemetery (University Section). Viewing will be from 3 to 6 p.m. today at the funeral home.
